December Snow

December Snow

I inhale december snow from the paddocks,
the old trees are moving,
meadows of light,
solitude,
and above me,
a heavy and grey sky
is waiting 
for light.


The snow hides loneliness.
Walking, light steps
as clouds.

I find tranquility in the snow,
tranquility is drinking silence..
The night's  noises,
lonely during day
as leaves.

The clouds are silent.
Snow  now falling
enchants forest and fields.


I write my thoughts into the day,
which let me rest,
nightwise,
without suppression,
reality wide spread,
is lost in december snow.
